I am invested in mostly stocks and bonds and know nothing about real estate.

and investing in CDs or investing in a stock index fund or even using the money to buy a good cash flowing rental.

There is a lot of really old housing stock in our area, but I really thought this would stand out.

And unfortunately, even when a syndicator is performing above projections, if the stock market comes down, that LP is likely going to stop investing based on asset allocation rules.  

However, I cannot be trusted with cash in the bank or in the stock market.

While there is less multifamily stock than in the Northeast it does exist and deals are out there

There is no way of knowingMy advice to everyone is this.Stop thinking with a scarcity desperation mindset.If you think it is ok to harass 1000 people to death to get one contract signed, you really need to reevaluate your business ethics and principles.

I will be traveling across the US to a better housing market, I have access to the MLS for every state which is cheaper than hiring a realtor and will make my journey better and faster.Also I have no income I live on disability and invest that into stocks, I worked a few months in IT and saved everything and quit so I could buy time.

I’ve been reading books and dabbling in the stock market and things of that nature.

So if you were in my position, how would you use creative financing to build up to 10 properties in the next 3 years and not sell stock or touch retirement?
